This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire used by the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to gather feedback on a contractor's performance for a specific project. It is intended to help FPS evaluate a contractor's suitability for the installation of Intrusion Detection System (IDS) hardware at the Phillip Burton Federal Building and United States Courthouse in San Francisco, CA (Bldg. CA0154).

• Contractor Information: Fields to identify the contractor requesting the reference.
• Project Description: Space to describe the scope of the project for which the reference is being provided.
• Performance Areas: Specific sections for feedback on:
  • Overall professionalism and attentiveness
  • Customer service and responsiveness
  • Problem identification and resolution (proactive vs. reactionary)
  • Sufficiency of supervision/staffing
  • Responsiveness to owner/tenant representatives
  • Overall project management
  • Handling of special, unique, or complex requirements
• Rehire Recommendation: A question asking if the respondent would hire the contractor again and why.
• Overall Performance Summary: A rating scale (Highly Acceptable, Acceptable, Unacceptable) to summarize the contractor's performance and associated risk.

Potential bidders should be aware that this questionnaire is used to assess past performance, which is often a significant evaluation factor in government contracting. Understanding the types of questions asked can help contractors prepare their own past performance information and anticipate the kind of feedback evaluators might seek. The questionnaire is to be emailed to Gilbert Olivas at gilbert.olivas@fps.dhs.gov.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment F - Contractor Quotation Checklist," serves as a mandatory checklist for bidders responding to the Request for Quotation (RFQ). Failure to adhere to its instructions or provide all requested parts may result in the rejection of a contractor's quotation.

• Part I – Compliance with Technical Specifications: Requires an itemized list of contractor-furnished equipment (without pricing), including brand/manufacturer and model. Cut sheets for all proposed equipment must be provided in a single file.
• Part II – Price Submission: Mandates completion of specific blocks on the SF 1449 (blocks 12, 17a, 17b, column 24, blocks 30a, 30b). The SF 1449 total price must encompass all requirements (labor, material, travel, etc.). An itemized price listing detailing each item, model, manufacturer, cost, and specific cost breakdowns (labor, supervision, equipment rental, travel, etc.) is also required. Travel and per diem pricing must align with FTR rates.
• Part III – Contract Documentation/Representations & Certifications: Requires the contractor to sign this checklist. Offerors must acknowledge any issued amendments per SF 30 instructions. The contractor must complete the 52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS, unless already represented via SAM.gov. Current copies of required licenses and a Certificate of Insurance are also necessary.

This checklist dictates critical submission requirements for quotations. Bidders must carefully review and complete all sections, including technical specifications, detailed pricing, and required documentation (signed checklist, representations, certifications, licenses, insurance). Two separate submissions are required: one with all parts, and one with Part I redacted. Strict adherence to these instructions is essential to avoid quotation rejection.
